PERSONAL INFORMATION:
Nationality: Canadian
Health: excellent
DETAILS OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE (starting with most recent employer or
contract):
Consultant to: Global Affairs Canada – formerly Canadian International Development Agency
(CIDA)
Mandate (January to March 2016)
Renewable energy scoping mission to Cuba, in support of Global Affairs Canada development
program:
• To assess the renewable energy sector in Cuba: its development; current status; players,
challenges; strategic priorities; and the potential for development programing in this
subsector;
• To provide expert analysis and advice on the feasibility of, and specific opportunities and
contributions for a Canada-supported renewable energy project or projects in Cuba.
Responsibilities:
(i) Conduct a broad analysis of the renewable energy playing field in Cuba: including all factors
important for the consideration of investment by Canada: state of play and players,
constraints and opportunities, peculiarities of the sub-sector in Cuba, including particular
strengths or challenges in the practical or policy environments;
(ii) Review the current regulatory framework, policies, priorities and planning instruments of
relevance for the renewable energy sector, identifying enabling and constraining conditions

3. 3
for successful programming;
(iii) Identify and map public and non-governmental institutions involved in renewable energy
development in Cuba, including respective roles and responsibilities and potential for
partnerships or participation in a development project;
(iv) Assess potential Canadian contributions and value-added relevant to Cuba’s renewable
energy needs and priorities, and make recommendations on concrete participation on renewable
energy initiatives;
(v) Identify the priorities and initiatives of other donors in Cuba’s renewable energy area,
outlining Canada’s comparative advantage and possible synergies in this context;
(vi) Provide recommendations on the viability and desirability of Global Affairs Canada’s entry
into Cuba’s renewable sector, based on factors such as: state/readiness of the sub-sector to
productively and sustainably absorb funds, Canada’s value-added, complementarity with
Canada’s global commitments on climate change and other programming in Cuba (including
possible trade linkages), synergies with other donors and existing initiatives, and other relevant
considerations;
(vii) In light of the findings of the analysis and consultations, review and make recommendations
to Global Affairs Canada on the multi-tiered project concept submitted by Cuba’s Ministry of
Mining and Energy (MINEM) to Canada’s Cooperation Program;
(viii) Based on consultations during the mission, and depending on the above recommendations,
provide a preliminary menu of projects that could be considered for Canada’s Cooperation
Program support in Cuba.
Further information on the work carried out under the above mandate:
The mandate included reviewing:
(1) Small scale photovoltaic installations for the electrification of the small percentage of Cubans
who cannot be reached by grid expansion or mini-grids due to the remoteness of their
communities;
(2) Small scale biogas facilities making use of manure, for the smaller cooperatives and
individual farmers.
In carrying out the scoping mission it became clear that the absence of pricing signals in the
consumption of energy by Cubans has a very negative impact on energy conservation as well as
causing enormous financial losses which the Cuban government must cover. This became a key
part of the recommendations made under the mandate.
Consultant to: Asian Development Bank (ADB)

4. 4
Manila, Philippines
Mandate (January 2014 to March 2015):
In the role of Energy Sector Specialist, implemented the Afghanistan Infrastructure Trust Fund
(AITF), a $212 million US fund put in place by Japan, UK, USA and the ADB for energy,
transport and natural resources management.
Responsibilities:
(i) Undertake review of existing work in power sector done by the government, international
development partners and the private sector for transmission lines and distribution network;
(ii) Assist ADB project processing team with energy sector data collection, reviewing existing
studies and updating project designs, and drafting required project documents;
(iii) Assist ADB project implementation team in reviewing bidding documents, bid evaluation
reports and draft contracts;
(iv) Advise DABS (the state electrical utility) on matters related to power transmission and
discuss power sector matters related to the power sector master plan, liaise with key
stakeholders, and in partnership with them develop key information exchange, institutional
support and data gathering;
(v) Assist AITF Secretariat and the project implementation team in contract administration in
accordance with contract conditions, ADB guidelines and best international practice;
(vi) Develop and assist in implementing comprehensive project management plans to ensure the
most efficient, timely, and economical implementation of the projects;
(vii) Conduct field visits to the project site and collect necessary data for the preparation of the
AITF regular reports in the format acceptable to AITF contributors;
(viii) Prepare a project implementation manual in the format acceptable to AITF contributors
covering the project organization, payment procedures, the project time schedule and quality
insurance program. The consultant will also establish a computerized project monitoring
program using generic software;
(ix) Participate in and contribute to internal and external training and conferences on the energy
sector and other activities for advocacy, dissemination and knowledge building.
Representative sample of work carried out under the mandate with ADB:
My mandate included carrying out a pre-feasibility study for the addition of a small hydroelectric

5. 5
power station at Dahla Dam in southern Afghanistan, which had been built in the 1950s for
irrigation. I determined that the optimum configuration was for the installation of three 8 MW
units, the electrical energy evacuated via a medium voltage distribution line rather than a high
voltage transmission line, a considerable reduction in the estimated cost of the project. The
distribution line would allow the electrification of an estimated 93,000 people living along the
irrigation canals between the dam and Kandahar City, further generation possible the length of
the irrigation canals through the installation of micro hydro stations at suitable points. The
surplus electrical energy would be injected into the transmission system feeding Kandahar City.
Given that the first vocation of Dahla Dam is irrigation, the distribution line can be back fed
from the transmission system, ensuring reliable electrical service for the newly electrified
communities during periods when irrigation needs draw the water down in the dam. The above
project is now at a more detailed stage, including the subject of an application being prepared for
the Green Climate Fund. Given that the generation from Dahla Dam would be displacing
thermal generation, the project would offset approximately 27,000 tons of carbon dioxide per
year, equivalent to taking nearly 6,000 cars of the road per GEF criteria.

made it the biggest nuclear power station in the world at that time. I then was assigned by
Westinghouse to its nuclear power plants in Spain in January 1980, working at the Ascó Station
(commissioning), then Lemoniz (planning of the commissioning program), before going to
Almaraz as Site Manager. These were all stations consisting of two 930MW nuclear units each.
